The good part of this is that riders who finish out rather than go too big ultimately get rewarded. The bad part is that it discourages riders from going big.

A possible partial solution: If you weight points on tricks attempted, even if they fail, Slopestyle judging might prove a bit more exciting and the results a lot closer. Both competitors and fans would benefit from that.

This time he turned a double, taking the “Best Trick” competition as well.

Whistler Worx 2009: Is this Brandon's year?

For the third year in a row, we ask: Will this be the year Brandon finally takes top honors in his home town of Whistler, where Kokanee Crankworx is already under way?

Last year we thought Semenuk might’ve edged out winner Greg Watts. The guy can sky higher than anyone we’ve ever seen. Now 2010 could be his breakthrough year.
